The consequences of left’s “defund the police” rhetoric
Nine Phoenix police officers were shot, none fatally in this instance, during an early Friday morning ambush as they responded to a domestic violence call that left the male shooter and a woman inside the residence dead. A baby in the south Phoenix home was unharmed. The woman who died after being transported to a local hospital was identified as Shatifah Lobley, 29, the shooter’s ex-girlfriend and the infant girl‘s mother. Police identified the gunman as 36-year-old Morris Richard Jones III.
It’s only the beginning of February and there have been 14 shootings aimed at law enforcement personnel in Arizona this year. Police put their lives on the line each day when they leave for work. We owe them a debt of gratitude, yet the ‘defund the police’ mantra has bizarrely taken hold in segments of society, giving rise to increased lawlessness.
On June 7, 2020, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and Police Chief Jeri Williams, both democrats, held a joint press conference standing in solidarity with violent protesters, at a “Black Mother’s Rally.”
On July 21, 2021 The Chicago City Council voted 36-13 to create an elected board of Chicago residents to oversee the Chicago Police Department, enacting the most far-reaching police reform ordinance in the United States. Mayor Lori Lightfoot supported slashing Chicago’s police budget amid an historic spike in gun violence
These shocking homicide numbers are a year old. Given the surge in crime, it’s reasonable to expect the numbers have escalated.
Seeing Red AZ 
We are living in previously unimaginable times. The left’s “Defund the Police” crusade following the death of its new hero, career criminal and drug addict George Floyd, has given rise to this anti-police lunacy.
Our law enforcement professionals are now denigrated not only by criminals, but now elected lunacrats have jumped on the bandwagon. They must think it’s a vote getter. I wouldn’t vote for a democrat if he or she was a member of my family.
Dems priorities are screwed. Ignoring the facts, they insultingly consider all blacks as perpetual victims who need their assistance, ignoring the increasing number of black professionals who are registering as Republicans. The dead wanna-be cop killer was black, but he represented no one but himself.
All the more reason to “Support Your Local Police, and Keep Them Independent,” a nationwide movement begun many years ago.
The American Police Officers Alliance ran this post that was last updated Aug. 26, 2021. It specifically points the finger at major American cities that have promoted “Defunding the Police.”
It’s important to acquaint ourselves with these anti-law enforcement tactics, that will lead us into chaos and anarchy, making the USA ripe for takeover by Marxist dictatorships.That’s not as outrageous as it sounds. We are living in unprecedented times. If we are to believe the last presidential election results, Americans voted for an Alzheimer patient.
